- Title
Accommodation from Romantic Partners as a Predictor of Older Adults' Depressive Symptoms and Loneliness: The Moderating Roles of Own and Partner Future Time Perspectives.
- Authors
Bernhold, Quinten S.
- Abstract
Older adults' perceptions of receiving accommodation from their romantic partner were examined as indirectly predicting depressive symptoms and loneliness, via shared family identity. Older adults' assessments of their own future and their romantic partner's future were also examined as moderators. For older adults who perceived their own future as restricted, perceptions of accommodation positively predicted shared family identity, and shared family identity then negatively predicted depressive symptoms. This indirect association was nonsignificant for older adults who perceived their own future as average in duration. Ways to continue probing the moderating role of future time perspective are offered.
